Chinese Dieselbike spotted on TV in UK

Post by Stuart »

I've had an email from a guy who asked me how to get hold of a Chinese diesel bike seen in a BBC program. The program in question was rather political in nature and entitled "The Chinese are coming" It was on BBC2 a few weeks ago. Episode number one apparently. I'm figuring it features Punsens? Anyway, It might be available for download somewhere so I will have a look soon.

it's on youtube in four parts but I didn't see any diesel bikes??? Just a couple of 125 honda clones? If it is on there it must be very brief!

Nothing in episode 1 about diesel bikes. Just some Lifan 125 clone type stuff (petrol).
